we pause on the threshold of 19211 to review
the things that have been accomplished during the

As a city Tulsa has made wonderful progress

sincerely.
We resolve for the new year 1923 to continue
with our best effort to give the highest standard of

Our Federal Sales in 1921
showed an increase of 77.3
o'er 1920.
Our Federal Sales in 1922
showed an increase of 47.1
over 1921.
Our Federal Sales in 1922
showed1 an increase of 160.8
over 1920.
The above percentages are aclual figures
as compiled by an official .statistician.
THE percentages of increase in the sales of Federal Tires
during the past two years are figured on value of tires in
dollars. Since tires have decreased greatly in price during
this period it will be seen that in order to show such an increase
in dollars, it was necessary to sell three times as many Federal
Tires in 1922 as in 1920.
We thank our many friends and patrons for making possible
this remarkably creditable record.
